Event-based control is an alternative to traditional control where new measurements are sampled only if critical events occur. This not only allows to reduce the control effort but it satisfies nowadays application requirements, such for example reduction ...
We model the dynamics of non-linear discrete (i.e. point-to- point) robot motions as a time-independent system described by an autonomous dynamical system (DS). We propose an iterative algorithm to estimate the form of the DS through a mixture of Gaussian ...
In this paper it is shown how Stochastic Approximation theory can be used to derive and analyse well-known Iterative Learning Control algorithms for linear systems. The Stochastic Approximation theory gives conditions that, when satisfied, ensure almost su ...
The stability of the Rayleigh-Benard-Poiseuille flow in a channel with large transverse aspect ratio (ratio of width to vertical channel height) is studied experimentally. The onset of thermal convection in the form of 'transverse rolls' (rolls with axes p ...
The standard approach to speaker verification is to extract cepstral features from the speech spectrum and model them by generative or discriminative techniques. We propose a novel approach where a set of client-specific binary features carrying maximal di ...
Verification of the computation of local quantities of interest, e.g. the displacements at a point, the stresses in a local area and the stress intensity factors at crack tips, plays an important role in improving the structural design for safety. In this ...
This article is concerned with the structured distance to uncontrollability of a linear time-invariant system and relates this concept to a variation of the μ-value. The developed framework is applied to derive computational expressions for the class of re ...
We study the problem of distributed Kalman filtering and smoothing, where a set of nodes is required to estimate the state of a linear dynamic system from in a collaborative manner. Our focus is on diffusion strategies, where nodes communicate with their d ...
We present a linear multicast of an analog signal in a two-pump self-seeded parametric device. The linearity of the parametric multicasting is assessed by two-tone measurements of the third-order intermodulation products and radio-frequency spectral analys ...

The problem of swinging up an inverted pendulum on a cart and controlling it around the upright position has traditionally been treated as two separate problems. This paper proposes a control strategy that is globally asymptotically stable under actuator s ...
